Northam responded to initial reports of the racist photos by apologizing, but later said it was not him in the photos despite the spread&#8217;s title showing his name. But Northam again changed his story, saying he does recall darkening his face with makeup in order to portray Michael Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>While Pirro laid out all of her criticisms about Northam&#8217;s blackface scandal and calls for his resignation, she also took a dig at controversial comments he made about late-term abortions just prior to the yearbook scandal. The Fox News host said the largest issue facing America today is &#8220;the legalization of infanticide,&#8221; a line of rhetoric that has grown popular among the far-right as abortion, like nearly everything else, has been cast in starkly political terms by a divisive President, a social media which profits from extremism and a beleagured media that seeks only clicks. &#8220;Or to put it in layman&#8217;s terms,&#8221; she added, &#8220;absolution&#8230;babies born alive, who are then murdered.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DhH8m06rFiw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBack to the dingbat governor, Dr. Mengele himself, who tried to justify an unjustifiable infanticide,\u201d Pirro said of Northam&#8217;s abortion comments, primarily for his use of the word &#8220;infant&#8221; to describe an unborn fetus in a woman&#8217;s third trimester of pregnancy. Republican operatives immediately began circulating video of his commentary within conservative circles despite the bill already\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/virginia-abortion-bill-third-term-late-term-1312390\">having been tabled<\/a>\u00a0in the Virginia House.<\/p>\n<p>Pirro&#8217;s hyperbolic comparison is to that of German SS physician Josef Mengele. Mengele was a notorious Nazi doctor, whose horrific medical tests &#8212; particularly on twins at concentration camps &#8212; killed countless children and maimed countless more. After World War II, Mengele managed to escape facing any war crime charges and\u00a0fled\u00a0to South America, where he hid in relatively plain sight until his death in Brazil in the 1970s.<\/p>\n<p>Pirro joined President Donald Trump and a slew of other Republicans looking to capitalize on Northam&#8217;s potential racism scandal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you stupid?\u201d Pirro asked of the Virginia governor&#8217;s changing stories. \u201cPolitics\u00a0101. If you apologize for something that everyone considers outrageous\u00a0 \u2014 and anyone else, by the way, would lose their job over it &#8212;\u00a0then you get up the next day and say it wasn\u2019t me. You either fire your political consultant or change your meds. Are you schizo too?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump weighed in on the Northam scandal as well, even bringing up his support for Republican Ed Gillespie, who unsuccesfully ran against Northam in the 2017 election.\u00a0\u201cDemocrat Governor Ralph Northam of Virginia just stated, &#8216;I believe that I am not either of the people in that photo.&#8217;\u00a0This was 24 hours after apologizing for appearing in the picture and after making the most horrible statement on &#8216;super&#8217;\u00a0late term abortion. Unforgivable!\u201d tweeted the president.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said if Gillespie&#8217;s research team had been able to find the yearbook photo before the election, he would have won handily and made the president\u00a0look better.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related ic\" data-gtm-action=\"Related_Stories\">\n<div class=\"block-title\">RELATED STORIES<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"article-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/jeanine-pirro-mocked-twitter-admitting-false-nancy-pelosi-report-mustve-taken-1289616\">Twitter Mocks Jeanine Pirro Over Nancy Pelosi Report<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"article-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/donald-trump-tells-fox-news-jeanine-pirro-question-about-if-he-worked-russia-1289330\">Trump Says NYT Report Is &#8220;Insulting&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"embed-image\"><span class=\"figure\"><picture class=\"mapping-embed lazysize\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/s.newsweek.com\/sites\/www.newsweek.com\/files\/styles\/embed_tablet\/public\/2019\/02\/03\/judge-jeanine-pirro.png 1x\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/s.newsweek.com\/sites\/www.newsweek.com\/files\/styles\/embed_tablet\/public\/2019\/02\/03\/judge-jeanine-pirro.png 1x\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/s.newsweek.com\/sites\/www.newsweek.com\/files\/styles\/embed_lg\/public\/2019\/02\/03\/judge-jeanine-pirro.png 1x\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/s.newsweek.com\/sites\/www.newsweek.com\/files\/styles\/embed_lg\/public\/2019\/02\/03\/judge-jeanine-pirro.png 1x\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/s.newsweek.com\/sites\/www.newsweek.com\/files\/styles\/embed_tablet\/public\/2019\/02\/03\/judge-jeanine-pirro.png 1x\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/s.newsweek.com\/sites\/www.newsweek.com\/files\/styles\/embed_tablet\/public\/2019\/02\/03\/judge-jeanine-pirro.png 1x\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/s.newsweek.com\/sites\/www.newsweek.com\/files\/styles\/embed_sm\/public\/2019\/02\/03\/judge-jeanine-pirro.png 1x\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/s.newsweek.com\/sites\/www.newsweek.com\/files\/styles\/embed_sm\/public\/2019\/02\/03\/judge-jeanine-pirro.png 1x\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mapping-embed lazysize  lazyloaded\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/s.newsweek.com\/sites\/www.newsweek.com\/files\/styles\/embed-lg\/public\/2019\/02\/03\/judge-jeanine-pirro.png\" alt=\"judge jeanine pirro\" \/><\/picture><span class=\"figcaption\"><span class=\"caption\">The Fox News host, Jeanine Pirro, claimed the largest issue facing America today is &#8220;the legalization of infanticide.&#8221;<\/span><span class=\"credit\">SCREENSHOT: FOX NEWS JUDGE JEANINE<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cEd Gillespie, who ran for Governor of the Great State of Virginia against Ralph Northam, must now be thinking Malpractice and Dereliction of Duty with regard to his Opposition Research Staff.
